Put simply, two warranties apply on South El Monte work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Manufacturer certification matters on South El Monte jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. That is as true in South El Monte as anywhere in Los Angeles County. A contractor who explains why a South El Monte roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to swap out it. This holds across Los Angeles County.
